The Washington State University football program is undergoing some major changes to bring more success to the field and gain recognition. The spring Crimson and Gray Game is set for April 16 at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane, the same venue where the Spokane Shock play. The last time the Cougars played in Albi stadium was 2001.
WSU Athletic Director Bill Moos claims that WSU football needs to capture more area attention from the Eastern part of Washington. Since Spokane contains the largest population in the East part of the state, it is a perfect target market.
Moos has made deals with the Spokane Shock's marketing department to bring fans to the game and cheer for the Cougs.
Also during the week, on April 11 head coach Paul Wulff plans to reveal the brand new football uniforms created by Nike for 2011. He and the rest of the coaching staff will also give a coaches clinic at the Red Lion Hotel in downtown, Spokane.
This years Crimson and Gray Game should be very interesting because the Cougs finally have enough depth and talent to compete at a high level. There is no set time for the kickoff, but according to Wulff it will most likely be around 2 or 3 p.m.
